Equipment & Gearing

How NTE's console gear actually works — Modules are the tetromino-shaped pieces you slot onto the grid, Cassette suits are the 2-piece / 4-piece set bonuses they unlock. Every suit effect below is quoted straight from the game, with the geometries each one needs and the espers that want it.

How gearing works

Each esper has a console grid. You slot Modules onto it — small pieces shaped like 2-, 3- or 4-cell tetrominoes that carry one main stat and several sub-stats. Every Module also belongs to a Cassette suit. Equip enough Modules of the same suit and you unlock that suit's set bonus.

2

2-piece bonus

Two Modules of the same suit. Almost always a flat +10% element DMG (or +15% DEF / +10% HP on the support suits).

4

4-piece bonus

All four suit pieces. This is the real payoff — DEF ignore, off-field crit stacking, reaction shred. It's what defines the build.

▦

Geometry matters

Each suit is sold in four fixed shapes. They have to physically fit on the grid, so the L- and Z-bends turn gearing into a packing puzzle.

Suit effect text below is quoted verbatim from the in-game cassette data. The “best for” tags are taken from each esper's own build guide — nothing here is invented.

Modules & geometry

The 12 Module shapes, grouped by how many grid cells they take. A full 4-piece suit is one Module of each of its listed geometries — fit them together and the bonus turns on. Browse every roll on the Module list.

Type II — 2 cells

2

The smallest modules. Easiest to fit, so they usually carry your most flexible sub-stats.

Hen2Type II HorizontalTwo cells in a row
Shu2Type II VerticalTwo cells stacked

Type III — 3 cells

6

Straight lines and the four L-bends. The L-shapes (ZhiJiao) are what make grid arrangement a puzzle.

Hen3Type III HorizontalThree cells in a row
Shu3Type III VerticalThree cells stacked
ZhiJiao1Type III L-Shape AL-bend
ZhiJiao2Type III L-Shape BL-bend variant
ZhiJiao3Type III L-Shape CL-bend variant
ZhiJiao4Type III L-Shape DL-bend variant

Type IV — 4 cells

4

The biggest footprints and the strongest stat ceilings. Plan the grid around these first.

Stat priority by role

A starting template per role, derived from the suit designs and the published character guides. When a character's own guide gives a different order, trust the guide — these are defaults, not absolutes.

Main / Sub-DPS

CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG → ATK% → matching Element DMG → flat ATK

Balance CRIT Rate against CRIT DMG, then pile on your element's DMG bonus. The element-track suits (Lost Radiance, Diabolos, Street Boxer…) all gate their best line behind dealing that element's damage.

Buffer / Enabler

Energy Recharge / ATK% → CRIT (if they hit) → element DMG

Off-field amplifiers (Fireflies, Crimson) reward uptime, not raw stats — prioritise getting their stacks rolling and keeping the team's reaction up.

Shielder / Tank

DEF% → HP% → flat DEF

Kingdom's Guard scales its 4-piece shield boost off DEF, so DEF% beats HP% on most shielders.

Healer / Sustain

HP% → Healing Bonus → Energy Recharge

Thea's Night Tavern stacks HP and Healing Bonus; healers rarely need offensive stats unless their guide says otherwise.

What this guide doesn't claim

  • Farm sources aren't in the cassette data — there's no “this suit drops here” table to quote, so we don't guess one.
  • Per-level stat scaling curves exist in the data but aren't reproduced here; the Cartridge list shows live rolls.
  • No tier ranking of suits. The 4-piece effects are situational by element and role, not strictly better-than each other.

Suit effects and module geometries are read directly from game data. Stat templates and the “best for” mapping come from the character build guides on this site.
